Weekly Contest #300
When Vada King was 12 years old, she and her mother wrapped their Toyota Supra around a lamppost. Vada was caught in a particularly awful screaming match with her mother. As Vada aged, the cause of the fight morphed and twisted until she couldn’t remember it in the slightest.

I was in a parking lot of traffic, cars honked, people were yelling from their windows, some woman had even gotten out of her car and was leaning against the driver side door.

An older man in the car to my left flipped through a newspaper, whil...
